This is the first time a global technology brand has set up a direct in-country presence in Qatar, said a statement.

 

The outlook for Qatar’s economy is strong as the country’s strategy has been to diversify into all major market segments. 

 

The country’s growth is expected to be 4.3 per cent, making it one of the most attractive Middle Eastern nations.

 

The company was established in partnership with Salam Technology, Canon’s longstanding imaging solutions distribution partner in Qatar, to further expand its offerings across the Qatari market, while building on the established customer base of Salam Technology.

 

Salam Technology’s strong local presence and proven track-record will ensure that Canon provides the high quality, technologically advanced products required across all industries.

 

Canon has been meeting customers’ demands in the country through its direct presence and new and diversified business offerings over the last year and a half, building a successful operation of 50 Canon employees and a full-fledged service and support team.

 

The opening of the showroom is intended to further strengthen Canon Office Imaging Solutions’ - (Doha) presence in the region. 

 

With its first business-to-business (B2B) showroom in place, the company will continue to give Qatari customers the opportunity to receive direct advice on products and services from Canon professionals.

 

Stefano Zenti, executive vice president, Canon Europe, said: “Qatar has been a key market for us and the establishment of Canon Office Imaging Solutions (Doha) as a subsidiary of Canon Middle East to specially cater to the market is reflective of our commitment to this region. 

 

"Qatar is the world’s richest country per capita, with the highest human development in the Arab World. Today’s showroom inauguration is a testament of our commitment towards further growing this already robust economy.”

 

“This showroom is designed to provide hands-on demonstrations of our B2B services and solutions to existing and new customers. It is also meant to display our end-to-end business solutions such as professional print, document and imaging management systems to provide a complete portfolio of innovative products and solutions for businesses across a wide variety of sectors,” added Zenti.

 

Wim Wynants, general manager of Canon Office Imaging Solutions (Doha), said: “At our showroom, Canon will provide a complete portfolio of innovative products for businesses across a wide variety of sectors. Our outstanding customer service, thanks to a thoroughly-trained staff, puts us in a position to offer expert advice on Canon products. 

 

"With this showroom, we will ensure that Canon maintains its position as a leader in imaging solutions and offers unprecedented amenities throughout Qatar.” - TradeArabia News Service
